"What is Neoliberalism?" - by halim alrah


It's a great, frank description.

Big event happening tonight, in about 6 hours.

Vaush (An Anarcho-syndicalist) and Destiny (a center left anti-fascist liberal) are teaming up two white identitarians about whether systemic racism is real. The reason this is big for fans of either Vaush or Destiny is because Vaush used to be a resident leftist in Destiny's community, and they've had a pretty hard falling out due to Destiny recently going hard against anti-capitalism.

Them teaming up gives Vaush followers some hope.

Yes, he absolutely leans left in his personal views. BUUUUUT he's also smart enough to understand that he is working within a system and culture that is largely right wing.

He knows running around with a sign that says "Hippity hoppity abolish private property!!" or "NO borders, no walls, No USA at all!!" is more likely to get his fucking ass kicked than to make any actual progress pulling the USA left.

So he gets behind the party.

Yeah, he's so leftist that he put people from the Fed and Goldman Sachs in his Administration.

For the record, full disclosure. Here's my voting pattern, so you know that I wasn't a big Obama fan back then, either.

1996- Voted For Bob Dole, so solidly Republican back then that I was overjoyed when he tapped Jack Kemp as his Veep.
2000/2004- Voted For George W. Bush, despite serious reservations, mostly out of mistrust of Gore and Kerry, increasingly lost faith in the GOP's dogma due to growing awareness of my sexuality, as well as the war, Katrina, Abramoff, several other things.
2008- Voted for Libertarian candidate Bob Barr, because I was completely disgusted with Bush and found Sarah Palin dangerously unfit to be within a country mile of the Oval Office, let alone a seventy-something cancer patient's heartbeat from it.
2012- Voted for Mitt Romney, largely because I distrusted Obamacare and wanted it gone, as it kept jacking up my premiums (or so I thought). Thought that he was a closet centrist and didn't take his right-wing rhetoric that seriously.
2016- Voted for Hillary Clinton, donated to Bernie Sanders during the primaries while still a registered Republican, quit the GOP in disgust on May 4, 2016, after Trump became the presumptive nominee. Increasingly rejecting a lot of my previous economic views, such as my prior support of austerity and the flat tax.
2020- Voted for Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries. Planning to swallow my bile and vote for Biden.
